Many movies seem to have taken an interest in showing deadly and dangerous games or sports. These sports and games are often used to entertain the masses and drastic them from the awful situations around them. The Roman Empire had a similar philosophy and it seems like a huge amount of films have taken that concept and expanded upon it. Bloodsport movies, not to be confused with the movie Bloodsport, usually take place in a dystopian future, where autocratic rulers, like the Roman Emperors before them, use the public spectacle of death to preoccupy and control the population. These bloodsports can be fights to the death, human hunts, or person versus beast, but always pack the excitement of watching others perish from the comfort of a theater seat.In terms of a blood sports movie, it is fairly well done and probably has some of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s best one-liners, but hits home because it is eerily inching toward reality. In the film, Arnold’s character, Ben Richards, is framed for murder with a deep-fake video, something that is now a major concern. The rise of AI and deep-fake may make The Running Man seem closer to reality, but it only speaks to the foresight of Stephen King.
